WHEREAS, the Cultural Heritage Committee of the City of San Luis Obispo conducted

required by law; and
WHEREAS, the Cultural Heritage Committee has duly considered all evidence, including
the testimony of the applicant, interested parties, and the evaluation and recommendations by
staff, presented at said hearing.
BE IT RESOLVED, by the Cultural Heritage Committee of the City of San Luis Obispo
as follows:
Section 1. Findings.
The project is consistent with Historic Preservation Program Guidelines 3.2.1, because the
proposed development is architecturally compatible with neighboring development in terms
of scale and massing, siting, street yard setbacks, and uses siding materials that
complement the Contributing list residence.
2. The project is consistent with the Historic Preservation Guidelines 3.2.2 because the new
development does not sharply contrast with, significantly block public views of, or visually
detract from the historic architectural character of adjacent historically designated
structures, because the proposed residence is located behind a listed property and uses
materials that do not sharply contrast with the prevailing historic character of the district.
Section 2. The project is categorically exempt from environmental review (Class 3, Section
15303, New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures, CEQA Guidelines), because the
proposed project consists of an addition to a single-family residence in a residential zone that
will have no significant impact on the environment.
Section 3. Action. The Committee hereby recommends approval of application ARCH -
1238 -2017 allowing the proposed three-story, two-bedroom addition, to an existing one -bedroom
single -story residence located behind a Contributing list historic resource, within the Old Town
Historic District:
